Belle Rose replied to Brittney's discussion 'Why are you Atheist? Are there any obstacles you face as an Atheist?'"Hey good idea!!! It has crossed my mind. I have thought about moving too...but right now my job is going awesome...we'll see what the future holds. Anything is possible."
Gallup's Mirror replied to Morgan Matthew's discussion 'What Is TPP? Biggest Global Threat to the Internet Since ACTA'"I see you've gone from:
You would have to prove the leaked documents are fakes, or that TPP does not do what the leaked documents say it does, or that the 30 law school professors are incorrect when they conclude TPP expands proprietor rights…"
Robert Stanton replied to Unseen's discussion 'Why isn't a 14 year old girl old enough to consent to sex?'"I agree completely. Having sex exposes her to the hazard of pregnancy (and STDs), when she is much too young to assume the burden, risk, and responsibility of bearing a child.

Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
